Rarely, but yes;
If I cut out your heart and remove it then there will be a 100% chance of your death (unless your heart is replaced and you are on a heart and lung machine at the time). If you allow qualifiers you can create 100% situtations. However, the only hard and fast rule of life is; "For every rule there are exceptions." This means that for every situation even one that is 99.99% likely to happen there is always a chance that it might not happen.
To qoute Isaac Asimov; "When you boil water you get a large amount of random action however if you have a galaxy full of boil tea kettles there is a chance that the water will all move in the same direction at one time and freeze." I don't want to try and figure out the chances of that but they are far less than 0.0001%

Of course, that just means that the given event will happen 100% of the time. There are many examples of this in all sciences. As far as I know gravity has a 100% probability of affecting an object. I have yet to learn about something that is not affected by it. Also consider chemical reactions in chemistry. Percent yield is different than probability. I would say if you mix two reactive elements there is a 100% probability for the reaction to occur.

Sure if you have a circumstance where no variables change the probability of getting the same result is 100%.
A penny dropped in a vacuum 1 meter off the earth's surface will always accelerate at 9.87 m/s^2 no matter how many times you do it (assuming no outside influences). The probability of it accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2 is 100%.

no of course not... if you spend very much time at all studying science and particularly the history of science you will see that our ideas on just about everything have changed, and multiple times. That means that many of the early theories in physics, biology, geology etc.. were quite simply wrong.
What is most interesting about this is to consider that much of what we think now is probably wrong as well... because why should we be so sure we are right now... when up until now we have been wrong about so many things...
just something to think about next time you read a science article

No.
as simple as that
not everthing in scienc eis 100% true
that why science is an important subject in school because it changes over time
as you heard
they added a planet to the solar system thing
but they took off pluto
uhmm crazy no?
anyways
not everything in science is 100% true
no matter what people think

Yes. Proven scientific laws have a 100% probability rate. Gravity is 100% guaranteed to hold you to the Earth's surface.

Yes. If I drop something heavy it will fall. If my Brain is denied oxygen I will die. If a tree falls in the woods a sound is created. Light travels at a constant speed in a vacuum. Bananas taste better then apples. Your Mom is to blame for anything that is wrong with you. Water will freeze and boil at an exact temperature given known conditions. Pure Water as a solid is less dense then liquid.

I guess, because of gravity, if you flip a coin on earth, you have a 100% probability of it falling- you just can't have a 100% chance of it landing on anything in particular. That's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Only in theory.. Chemistry is an example. You can work out, theoretically, the experiment, then once you actually do it there is going to be some slight error somewhere..
Thought experiments... that is all I can think of. Einstein was great at it.

There are numerous rules of physics which, till you desire to get quite philosophical (i.e. the solar has consistently risen yet *might no longer the following day), are one hundred% probable and appropriate as actuality devoid of shadow of a doubt.
